Abstract

Prior literature highlights the effectiveness of the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) risk principle when providing community supervision and treatment to general justice-involved individuals and special populations such as individuals convicted of a sexual offense. Individuals deemed high-risk, per risk assessment, should receive the most intensive levels of community supervision and treatment, while individuals classified as low risk should receive the lowest intensity. Research in support for the risk principle finds adherence decreased recidivism rates and increased probation compliance. The current study assesses the effects of adhering (or not) to the risk principle in supervision levels and treatment dosage on the compliance of individuals on probation for a sexual offense ( N = 133). Overall, results support risk principle adherence for individuals, with increasing adherence levels associated with significantly more compliance, and non-adherence resulting in adverse outcomes. Implications for policy and practice in the supervision and treatment of individuals with a sexual offense are discussed.

在对有性犯罪者的监督和治疗中坚持风险原则的协同效应

先前的文献强调了风险-需求-反应性（RNR）风险原则在为一般涉案人员和特殊人群（如被判犯有性犯罪的人员）提供社区监管和治疗时的有效性。根据风险评估，被视为高风险的个人应接受强度最高的社区监管和治疗，而被归类为低风险的个人应接受强度最低的监管和治疗。支持风险原则的研究发现，坚持这一原则会降低再犯率，并提高缓刑遵守率。本研究评估了在监管级别和治疗剂量上遵守（或不遵守）风险原则对因性犯罪而接受缓刑的人员（人数=133）的遵从性的影响。总体而言，研究结果支持个人遵守风险原则，遵守程度越高，遵守率越高，而不遵守则会导致不良后果。本文讨论了对有性犯罪者的监管和治疗政策及实践的影响。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Press/Politics is an interdisciplinary journal for the analysis and discussion of the role of the press and politics in a globalized world. The Journal is interested in theoretical and empirical research on the linkages between the news media and political processes and actors. Special attention is given to the following subjects: the press and political institutions (e.g. the state, government, political parties, social movements, unions, interest groups, business), the politics of media coverage of social and cultural issues (e.g. race, language, health, environment, gender, nationhood, migration, labor), the dynamics and effects of political communication.
